We usually save the gift cards that Cole gets for his birthday/Christmas for when he really wants something. Today was the day, he got new headphones for his Xbox.

The kids were trying to spend the entire day outside today. They did pretty good. When it started raining this morning, they made a shelter for themselves & the puppies with the picnic table & an old sandbox.

Vaughn saw this organ being offered for free in the newspaper. So, he borrowed our car and picked it up. When we got it in the basement it was making a terrible sound. Vaughn researched it on the internet, cleaned it up (see all of the dust flying around) and bought some oil for it...now it works just fine.
